Re: UND at UW: Let's get hostile, let's get abusive
I agree but that's not the case on the Hextall hit. In the picture I just posted It's clear he extended an elbow to the head drawing blood. Easy call, and most likely a suspension.
College hockey is facing a conundrum. If a player, say, 6-5" hits a player 5-10" with his shoulder is that contact to the head? These penalties are going to be called according to the new rules. I just don't see any easy solution. Open ice is one thing, but tight areas could be difficult to call.
